KVARTFEST "THE NOTE MUG"!

To understand your friend without a word.

I am happy to say that the 3rd Kvartfest (flatfest) "The Note Mug" ( or the new version is "The Note Pizza :P ) started and finished successfully yesterday!
The theme was "Peace. Friendship. Chewing Gum". The accent was made on Friendship, of course.
We lead bustling lives and very often forget our dearest, our friends. To Unite people "The Note Mug" was created, however, the 1st and 2nd Kvartfest's topics were "The Russian archipelago" and "The crystal of traditions", where cultural questions were arisen. This winter it was decided to discuss something what is closer to our everyday reality and could be 100% helpful.
Being absolutely tired now, I will only write some facts and conclude.
0) Kvartfest was held together with Lizvet's birthday.
1) 90% of the invited people were 1-2 hours late.
2) From 22 who claimed they would come 15 came. The majority were f. ( only 3 m.), because 5 guys couldn't have come + two girls.
3) The programme

1. Lizvet greeted everyone and read a story of a famous Russian bard Bulat Okudjava "A little mouse". It describes a month when the author tries to red rid of mice in his countryside house: puts traps in every corner etc. But this year there are not plenty of mice, suprisingly only one little mouse, which comes to watch TV with the author every evening. Soon he gets used to the little mouse and even starts to love it, until one day the author finds his little mouse killed in a trap...


2. The discussion followed.


3. Lisa Vinovarova took the floor to tell the guests a hilarious story about her friend. Friendship for Lisa is a feeling which once turns into love. When she was studying in Germany, she got to know a crazy Russian girl with a really weird sense of humour... Like early in the morning that girl hears a bird singing and yells: SHUT UP, BIRD! .......... Well, that was a long story which illustrated how it can be difficult sometimes to adapt to odd people but finally you fall in love with that oddy and overcome life problems together ever after.


4. Nina and Serejia added a few words about friendship between women and men :) and this was just in time, because the 1st planned performance was prepared by Kirill and Lizvet "WHY?".

L: My dear, why are not you talking to me
My dear, why are not you talking to me
WHY, WHY, WHY are not you talk to me????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You promised to go for a walk with me
So WHY, WHY don't you invite me?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY, WHY don't you invite me???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K: I would go for a walk with you, but you are not at home
I would go for a walk with you, but you are not at home

5 ) Afterwards, Marina Startchenkova represented her "friendly" paintings =)

1) Chain saw "Drujba"/ Cheese "Drujba"/ Village "Drujba"/ Pipeline "Drujba"

2)What is friendship for you?

6) Then Lizvet's little cousin Marina Kholina read the poem she wrote herself "The Dwarf and the Giant ". The Dwarf was building his house when he became ill. But his friend Makar - the giant helped him to get well and finish the works.

7) Irina Bondar': Friendship, just like love, doesn't have the past tense. Because, unfortunately, I meet Liz not so often, but everytime we meet it is not felt a lot of time has passed..

7,5) Love prepared a box with small cards and candies. Everyone had to take one card with a quotation in it and a candy. I took a candy in a golden cover as it suited my dress =) And in my card - LaroshFuko: " The one who has never done anything crazy is not as wise as he thinks!". I am not sure if Love is the Oracul, but everyone was amazed that the quatations were "right for him/her"! Everyone saved their cards.

8) Lizvet sang a Buelorussian folk song "Komarik" (the mosquito).

9) Lizvet and Serejia. The song about love to music :)

10) Serejia [I bet this song was devoted to Nina ;) ]

11) Vyatcheslav Nikolaevitch - Lizvet's neighbour, teacher and good friend.

Vyatcheslav Nikolaevitch - Two girls, one 12, the other - 14.

12- you are so old! Noone will want to make friends like you!

Actually,.. my granny was extremely energetic the whole life.. She has never been old, even at 90. So she [Lizvet] is not old. She doesn't look like a granny :)

Encore! The Russian folk song about a flea... yes, Lizvet and insects forever :)

12)...

13)... Seeing Alla off...
14)..

15)..

When two guests have already left... the rest of people enjoyed playing the traditional Kvartfest's game "The paper" :P . The most pleasant moment for me was when I forgot about this game at all, but people who were at the 1st or 2nd Kvartfest said it's a shame of me I didn't organize "The paper" =) What means they have good memories from all the previous "Mugs"... I am completely happy!!!

To play "The paper" (it must be called somehow else... but for us it's just the paper :P ), people sitting in a circle write: Who - then pass to the neighbour, then the neighbour writes: With who - then passes to the neighbour.... Finally, the story is written and it's time for a mad laughter :)

The possible questions are - who, with who, where, when, what were doing, in what were dressed, what for were doing that, what he said, what she said, how ended, in 20 years... ).

16).. Frankly speaking, I was extremely shocked when it was 23:30 and people started talking about leaving.. Not because it was time to say bye, but because it was 23:30! Not earlier! Not 21:00! Not 20:00! (No buses after 00.00). I haven't seen some guests for ages and we didn't have much to talk about, but they enjoyed [ENJOYED] the time we spent together, they enjoyed the evening... Nothing was better than realizing they were enthralled by what was happening around and....ah, I am just so glad!!!

Krolik (Rabbit), Volk (Woolf), Matroskin, Love, Triesta (all nicknames :)) ) - all stayed for a night (+ Kirill and Lizvet). They found whiskey, wine in my bar :P and were very suprised! Of course, Senatorova always offers juices and tea :))) And sang nice songs the whole night :))))

And in the morning Krolik said: I missed chatting, singing good songs in a good company so much! However, I didn't join them... I was relaxing in my room enjoying the silence... until I went to eat sushi :))
